​
Welcome to the Hampton Court Palace Food Festival
This exhibitor manual is your introduction to the show team and provides useful information on arriving at the venue, build-up and break down procedures, additional onsite goods and services and of course health, safety and security.
It also contains important forms which you need to complete, by specific deadlines, in advance of the event. To make this as easy as possible we have included all deadlines on the forms section of this website.
If you have any logistical questions or need advice please do not hesitate to contact our Operations team on viv.orchard@vivevents.co.uk
As this event will be hosted outdoors within the grounds of the Hampton Court Palace it is of vital importance that you take note of the Palace Conservation Rules and Regulations which can be found in the Venue Information section of this manual.
Thank you for exhibiting and we look forward to working with you.
We hope that you find the event both enjoyable and successful.
​
Key Elements to remember when exhibiting at the Hampton Court Palace Food Festival:
​
This will be an outdoor event and therefore you will need to take into consideration the following factors:
​
-
Weather-wise it may be cold and wet, please think about this if you are planning on storing boxes in your stand area as they may become damp/wet and stock may be damaged.
-
The ground is uneven and may affect your displays and tables. Think of ways you may minimise this effect at your stand.
-
All sampling must be kept to the confines of the stand wherever possible to avoid the risk of spillage on the unprotected grounds.
​​
Please Note: NOTHING CAN BE STORED BEHIND YOUR STAND AND NOTHING CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE OUTSIDE BACK WALL OF YOUR STAND.
